Midday Report: August 3, 2007

The state begins inspections on eight highway bridges similar in design
to the one that failed this week in Minnesota; the bike ferry between
Colchester and South Hero begins its seventh season this weekend;
Congress is about to go on vacation for the rest of August, and there's
been something of a flurry of activity before the recess; five avid
hunters are willing to pay a lot of money to try to bag a moose this
fall.
